The Control and Dynamical Systems (CDS) specialization welcomes applicants holding a bachelor's degree in engineering, mathematics, or scientific disciplines. Each candidate's credentials undergo individual assessment, and upon admission, students collaborate with faculty advisors to design their academic plan. Some individuals may need to complete foundational undergraduate engineering coursework to address any gaps in preparation.
As an integral component of the Computing and Mathematical Sciences department, the CDS program highlights the cross-disciplinary aspects of contemporary dynamical systems and control theory. The program structure fosters comprehensive understanding of both theoretical and applied approaches to dynamical systems and control. Alongside core CDS coursework, participants must choose a specialized concentration area.
Applicants must have completed a bachelor's degree or the equivalent before beginning graduate study.
Applicants whose native language is not English and those who have had no formal instruction in English will be required to take a test to evaluate English proficiency. Please refer to "Required Tests" for a list of the GRE reporting requirements and the English proficiency exams currently accepted. The admissions committee may also consider research papers, publications and other original work.
